The logo brings together imagery representing Papua New Guinea. According to The Guardian, it includes the face of a chief alongside cultural drawings, giving the identity a design centred on the country’s heritage.
The Guardian reports that the primary jersey is black, with a white-accented V and gold cultural drawings across the chest. An alternative version is predominantly white, the report says.
The cultural drawings on the jersey are credited by The Guardian to PNG artist Tabu.
The unveiling comes as the team faces an unresolved question over its name. The Guardian reports that the PNG Chiefs are involved in an ongoing dispute with New Zealand Rugby over use of the Chiefs name.
The Guardian also reports that an injunction sought by New Zealand Rugby concerning use of the Chiefs moniker was denied in the High Court. The supplied reports do not establish the final outcome of the naming dispute.
The logo unveiling was reported by ABC Australia Sport, while The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian reported that officials also presented a jersey ahead of the 2028 season. The available evidence does not specify where the presentation took place or independently establish the date on which it occurred.
